ONTONAGON - Ewen-Trout Creek came from behind in the fourth quarter and won its renewed rivalry game against Ontonagon 12-6 in overtime on Friday. "We were down 6-0 most of the game," E-TC coach Larry Maki said of the battle between two Ontonagon County schools. "But the boys didn't quit. We ran a lot of plays and kept plugging away, but we had a tough time for three quarters. That No. 70 for Ontonagon (Logan Jilbert) was a beast. We took the battle of Ontonagon County, and the team and the...
IRON RIVER, Wis. - The storms stayed away as the Hurley girls and Ironwood boys took second at the first Indianhead Conference cross country meet of the season at Northern Pines Golf Course Thursday. Officials ran the varsity races prior to the junior high races with storms expected, but only a light rain came and went. Washburn defeated Hurley 32-45 in the girls race with South Shore in third with 48 points. Both the Midgettes and Castle Guards had two runners in the top 10, but Washburn placed...
LAKE LINDEN - The second quarter couldn't have gone much worse. But really, the whole day was one to forget for Hurley. Lake Linden-Hubbell dominated Hurley for a 35-6 Great Western Conference victory on a steamy Saturday afternoon. "Bottom line is they outplayed us today, big time," Hurley coach Scott Erickson said. The Lakes took control early, scoring 11 first-quarter points off two long and impressive scoring drives where their offensive line took control. But that deficit appeared...
IRONWOOD TOWNSHIP - Ironwood scored four unanswered goals to defeat Phelps 4-1 in Northern Lights Conference action. The Red Devils overcame a sluggish start as Phelps scored the game's first goal.

Riley Jarocki tallied Ironwood's final goal late. The win puts Ironwood at 2-3 on the year. The Devils beat the Lakeland JV team 9-1 last month...
WAKEFIELD - The Gogebic Miners and first-year varsity head coach Mark Movrich started off the season with a convincing 48-7 win over Hancock on Saturday. "I'm definitely glad for the win," Movrich said. "When you win that first game, it's easier to come back to practice and focus on the positive things we did and what we have to do better. "We made some first-game mistakes, but we were able to keep the ball moving and we've got some explosive backs. All too often, a line will just push or lean...
HURLEY - Hurley's 10th straight victory over Ironwood Friday night was its biggest in the impressive run. The Midgets defeated Ironwood 55-6, the 49-point margin of victory eclipsing the 42-point defeats last year and in 2012. Hurley only needed six first downs thanks to short fields from 134 yards on five punt returns and a turnover. The Midgets scored on the first play of the drive twice and had three four-play drives. Every Midget drive started in Ironwood territory in the first half....

The offense calmed down and responded. We had good focus, a good first game and a good victory. It's our first ye...
IRONWOOD - The Gogebic Community College Lady Samsons start the volleyball season with a tournament at Vermilion at Friday and Saturday. Coach Aaron Bender just wishes more players were making the trip than the eight currently on the roster. But the Lady Samsons have a good group of setters and outside hitters to make up for that. "Numbers are down," he said. "It's frustrating. But at the same token, it is what is. These are the girls have committed and have shown their dedication to the game....
IRONWOOD - Zak Langdon of Ironwood survived a windy day and his boss to win the Gogebic Country Club men's club championship Saturday. He defeated Dave Chase of Ironwood 4-up in the final. "I just played steady; I played pretty good golf all day," Langdon said. "My chipping and putting was not the best, but I just made a lot of pars and capitalized on the other person's mistakes. I just played steady. I didn't really play great, I didn't play bad, just steady golf." That was on a day with a...

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) - Given a third straight chance to finally win a major, Jason Day promised a fight to the finish in the PGA Championship. Turns out the biggest fight was to hold back the tears. Worried that this year might turn out to be a major failure, Day never gave Jordan Spieth or anyone else a chance Sunday. He delivered a record-setting performance at Whistling Straits that brought him a major championship he started to wonder might never happen. Day was in tears before he even...
IRONWOOD — Former head football coach Pat Gallinagh recently gave the Daily Globe sports department a copy of the book Unintended Impact, written by Jim Proebstle. Proebstle tells the gut-wrenching and powerful story of how his brother, Dick, suffered a number of concussions playing high school and college football. The repeated head concussions and sub-concussions caused brain trauma and led to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Many people have never heard of CTE or think a concussion and CTE are the same thing, but they are not. A c...

Ryan Niemi took over the helm this year and the Red Devils started practice as did other Michigan teams on Monday.

"There was a lot of excitement in the air," Niemi said. "The kids are recharged and more upbeat." Ironwood has a lot of juniors and s...
HURLEY - Ben Schneider came into Saturday's race with a discrete, even human, bib number of 178, rather than the traditional No. 1 for the defending champion. Schneider, a nine-time defending champion coming in, maybe even felt a bit human just this once, battling an Achilles problem at Saturday's 47th annual Paavo Nurmi Marathon. It certainly didn't help the competition any, though. Schneider, 31, of Minneapolis, won the marathon in 2:42:30. Sure, it was his second-slowest Paavo winning time,...

A couple of players weren't there Tuesday and the number of players is expected to hit approximately 40.

Coaches...

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Haloti Ngata missed the team's first practice of training camp Monday with a strained hamstring. The five-time Pro Bowler, whom the Lions acquired from Baltimore in the offseason when Suh left via free agency, was on the field with his teammates, but he wore a hat instead of a helmet. Ngata did not talk to reporters as he left the field after practice. "Haloti actually during...
